APPARATUS FOR CLEANSING THE GASES 0F BLAST-FURNACES, GENERATORS, dc.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,112, dated December 13, 1904. Application filed February 21,1903. Serial No. 144,470. (No model.)

Be it known that I, EMIL KnA'rom-LvIL, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Krali iv 1)Vlll., in the Kingdom of Bohemia and Empire of Aust1ia-Hungary, have invented a new and useful Apparatus for Cleansing the Gases of Blast-Furnaces, Generators, Smoke and Chimney Gases, and the Like from their Greasy and other Ingredients, of which invention the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for cleansing the gases in a simple and cheap way, so as to render it applicable for the use of gas-engines or for the purpose of 'abating smoke. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated as'an example in the accompanying drawings, in which* Figure 1 is an axial vertical section of the machine, and Fig. 2 a vertical cross-section of the same machine.

1 is a turning shaft carrying a number of Water-dispersing disks or the like. Water is conducted on through pipes 3; striking them in one or several points near their centers and from the side, it being dispcrsed by the centrifugal force. The whole is inclosed in a casing 4, the shaft being turned from outside.

The gases to be cleansed enter by 5 and escape by 6 after having been thoroughly mixed with the dispersed water and washed off in the casing 4, from which the dirty water flows away by the tube 7.

I am aware that prior to my invention gascleansing machines have been made with water-disoersing rotary devices. Iii therefore do not claim such a combination broadly; but

W hat ll do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a gas-cleansing apparatus the combina tion of a suitable casing, a horizontal rotatable shaft through said casing, a series of disks on said shaft, a plurality of pins on the faces of said disks, a water-supply pipe, branches leading from said pipe having nozzles directed toward said disks, a water-outlet for said casing and gas inlet and outlets in said casing.

in testimony whereof l ailiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EMlL KRATOCHVIL.
